    Summary

    "Just the other day, we found you on the ground of that shrine, barely moving, struggling to breathe. If I let you go and that happens once more tonight, or worse, I don't know how I will live with myself."

    After a bad run in with some gloom spawn, Link retreats to Zora's Domain where Sidon and Yona gladly take care of him. But when a lynel threatens the safety of the Domain, Sidon and Link must take it down. Things don't go as planned, and Sidon's left to feel pain he hasn't felt in a long time.

    (Spoilers for TotK) This story takes place after Link has completed the Dragon's Tears quest, but Link only has Sidon's vow and no master sword.

    Summary

    'Cause you're all that I have left

    On the eve of the Picori Festival, one year after both their lives were turned upsidedown by Vaati, Dot searches for Link.

    She finds him.

    Summary

    He’s lonely again, a feeling so familiar it’s an old friend and a lingering bruise. Naturally, he sought out a stable (Dueling Peaks, this time). For the people that are there or the rumors of the one isn’t, he’s not entirely sure.

    Naturally he finds her anyway, standing waist-deep in the river, the barest amber light from the stable’s torches dancing across the marbles of her eyes and the gilt of her hair.

    Summary

    By the time he opened his eyes, he wanted to burn the world down. He wanted to take her place. He wanted to tear apart everything that had ever hurt her: with this sword or any other, with his own teeth and nails if necessary. Better yet, he wanted to be back in their bed the morning before it had all gone wrong, when he still had a chance to keep her safe.

    But some failures could never be undone. Link had learned that while kneeling in the sunlit waters of the Ash Swamp, remembering his own death.

    Summary

    Link transferred from Hateno University to Central Hyrule University for his sophomore year of college following an incident at his former school. He's hoping to put his past behind him, but he starts being put into all-too-familiar scenarios only a few days into the new school year.

    He meets up with some old friends and is introduced to Zelda who is... not the nicest girl he's ever met, but he'll try to make it work for the sake of his friends. After all, without them, he knows no one here and he is all too aware of what being socially isolated can do to a person.

    Summary

    "Blue feathers flitted by in the updraft, some attached to bloody scraps of skin as they'd been ripped off Zelda's loftwing by the careless force of the wind. He felt sick at the sight of it."

    Missing moments between Zelda falling to the surface and Link's journey beginning. Very whump-y. Trigger warnings in tags.

    Summary

    It had only been five minutes and they could already smell the flames. The other champions had already left on their own ways to their Divine Beasts, taking them far off to the other sides of the kingdom. All that was left was him and Princess Zelda, who had insisted that she help, who begged that he take her with him to the castle to save her father and the others inside.

    It had only been five minutes.

    He could already smell blood.

    Summary

    The city had been doomed to die, cursed to this cycle. The bells chimed for no one in particular, fireworks erupted over an desolate town, and the sky opened once again to seal their fate.

    It had been ages, as far as he knew, at least it felt like it. The forest was dark and ominous, calling out to him, beckoning him into the dark, to claim him as their own. To become just another skeleton lost in an unending maze of trees and humid air. He had seen worse things. memories of a crumbling well crept to the forefront of his mind. He shuddered, leaning closer to his horse. It was cold. It was so cold in this damp, depressing hellhole of a forest. (I make my man suffer for fun :D)

    Summary

    “I take it you’re givin’ up, then?” Tetra pushed the edge of the blade a slight bit harder into his neck, just enough to scare him.

    He gulped and nodded, raising his hands in defeat. Tetra pulled the sword back, kicking the man’s chest and shoving him to the ground instead. He let out a pained ‘oomph,’ but didn’t otherwise get up.

    Summary

    Link wakes up in a strange place. He is drowning in grief. He cannot remember who or what he is mourning, but it hurts all the same. A dark castle looms in the distance. It is drenched in evil, but a golden light breaks through the eye of the storm. Link will do whatever it takes to keep that light from going out.
    This will be the final fight between the God of Power and the Man of Courage. No more reincarnations, no more second chances. Link has lived far too many lives and he is ready to end this. The Calamity is determined to break the unbreakable spirit of the Hero once and for all. The legend that is as old as time itself is finally coming to an end.
    -

    This is a darker reimagining of Breath of the Wild. There will be some light moments but this is meant to be a lot heavier than the original game. I adjusted certain aspects for storytelling purposes. If you notice something that does not match up with the game it is intentional.

    Summary

    “is that your first response?” a voice that sounds suspiciously like his own echoes back, bouncing around the abyss like an empty ballroom. “to fight?”

    “of course it’s to fuckin’ fight off creeps like you,” link shoots back, instinctively turning towards the direction of the voice. “in case you weren’t keeping up, that’s my job, dumbass.”

    “don’t act like you don’t enjoy partaking in killing innocents just to feel excitement in your life.”

    or, link has a nightmare that pushes him to leave hyrule.
